Small businesses make up the economic engine that moves a nation forward, and all small businesses must deal with a highly competitive marketplace, unpredictable economic cycles, time pressures, and technological demands that are constantly exerting pressure on the bottom line.

Your business needs the same technologies that large companies do. You need the ability to share information with customers, partners, and employees. You have the same worries about spam, malware, and security. And you have the same need to manage resources and employee access to those resources.

The major difference is that you probably don’t have the luxury of an in-house IT staff.

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (SBS 2011 Essentials) allows small businesses to operate at the same technology level as much larger organizations, but without the added costs of maintaining a network administration department.

Working with Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials is a reference, assistant, and coach for the busy network administrator, whether the administrator is on the scene or accessing the network from another location.
